授業の目的(意義) / Importance of this course

"There is an increasing attention on the creation of innovation amongst large corporation, family business and even startups. However, till date, there is a lack of understanding on how organisation or individual can create innovation that   meets end users’ needs. The means towards innovation is more than just applying“problem  solving”approach. Corporate practitioners are required to learn new form of methodological approach that enables them to think and create new products and services that are users’ centric and innovative. “Design Thinking” is a conceptual and practical methodology that has been successfully adopted by companies and institutions across diverse industries, such as IDEO (Design & Consulting), Apple (Technology), SAP (IT) and even Nagoya University Commerce and Business (Education), in order to achieve innovation. Thus, this course aims to introduce the concept and methodology of design thinking through case studies, case simulation, and apply the learnings on a regional revitalisation project in Japan."
